I'm a pro Seppler who is just starting to learn JavaScript, and was wondering if any /prog/ lurkers could tell me how to define 'DOM' objects, I think they're called, I know one is called 'document', when running JavaScript from a .js file?

There is no such thing as 'DOM' in web standards compliance.
How do I know this? Because the concept of the DOM was created by Microsoft (look it up). Everything Microsoft does is not standards compliant. So DOM is not standards compliant.
Also, the ECMAScript spec that JavaScript is based on was co-created by Microsoft (look it up). So JavaScript is co-non-standards compliant.
Also, Microsoft created XML (look it up). Therefor there are no XML standards or XHTML standards.
